Erythropoietin (Epo) is a glycoprotein consisting of one 165aa single-chain polypeptide with two internal disulfide bonds. When fully glycosylated, the molecular weight of Epo is approximately 34kD. Normally produced by the liver and kidney, Epo is the principle regulator of red blood cell production by stimulating the division and differentiation of bone marrow erythroid progenitor cells in response to anemia and hypoxia. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 1:1000 detected glycosylated EPO on 10ug of mouse kidney lysates., Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
